Research question “What is an appropriate time for referring hospice care for solid cancer patients could enhance their quality of life?”
From other research studies, we can see the result that hospice care could enhance cancer patient’ quality of life (Tsubamoto, 2014). However, most of the hospice care will be referred to patients when the condition turned critical. In addition, people often talked about that “wish can enter hospice care earlier.” Therefore, the research study would like to discuss and compare three different times to refer to hospice care which includes the newly diagnosed stage four of solid cancer patients, after some levels of chemotherapy and radiotherapy without advancement of their health condition, and the latest …show more content…
Experiment Study method: Randomly choose three different periods of solid cancer patients and into two groups. The experimental group will have hospice care team involved and provide hospice combined care. The control group will receive the regular care without hospice team involved but patients’ family or caregivers will receive care from case management or regular nurses.
Hypothetical constructs: It is more beneficial for the hospice care when it is referred to the time since they diagnosed stage four solid cancer.
Operational definition: Randomly choose of stage four solid cancer patients, categorizing into three different periods of time: the new diagnosis with stage four solid cancer patient verse after chemotherapy and radiotherapy that without improvement with their illness verse the patients in the critical conditions. Randomly single them into two groups. The experimental group will have hospice care team involved and provide hospice combined care. The control group will receive the regular care without hospice team involved but patients’ family or caregivers will receive care from case management and regular nurse to protect their basic right. The participant will not notice they have hospice care team involved during the experiment. Both the experiment group and control group will at under care for six months. In the end, evaluating with the same quality of life scale before and after receiving hospice care involve and compared compare their
